Hey Beth, there's nothing sad about that at all! I loved the Wombles (and
still do). They were a great show for kids and its a darned shame that its not
on TV anymore.
"Underground, overground, Wombling free......"
Ah, such childhood memories.....

Um, up until recently it was back on - sort of a 'Wombles : The Next
Generation' but with a few of the old ones too. They've broken the scheme of
them all being named after Islands for the new ones though. Bummer. Didn't
seem the same somehow.

Islands? Orinoco is a river, Wellington a city, Bulgaria is a country. The
Tour de Farce passed through Cholet a few days ago.
What are the new young Wombles called?

One was called Alderney (see?), can't remember the others - only saw it
once. The web page posted yesterday has a full list.

And for UK persons of a certain age, how about "Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew..."
